who's been wielding his gun outside your mosque and talk to him.
And it was really interesting because they'd interviewed him before meeting me and the things that he was able to utter before meeting me and before meeting Syrian refugees was just awful.

But then at the park, he meets me, talks to me.
He meets a Syrian refugee family.
One of the girls whose leg had been blown off in an airstrike.
And he said, I feel like an idiot.
I mean, he expressed all sorts of regret and was teary eyed.
